Emperor of the North is a 1973 action film revolving around corrupt railroad conductor, Shack (Ernest Borgnine). He has resentment toward hobos and vows to forcibly remove any that get on his train. Hobos A-No. 1 (Lee Marvin) and Cigaret (Keith Carradine) manage to sneak onto Shack's train. When Shack learns of their arrival, A-No. 1 escapes, but Cigaret is caught.

To find out if Shack is able to get rid of A-No. 1 and Cigaret once and for all, watch Emperor of the North.
